Deep In The Mountains Fishing for Colorado Cutthroat Trout

Hey Everyone,

I’ve been looking forward to sharing this for the last week and a half. Just took a little time to edit

My team and I head deep into the mountains starting at 3AM! We got up to Grand Mesa, strapped on the snowshoes, and started our several mile adventure in the dark. Most of the walk was uphill so we were exhausted by the time we got there. We chose a nice day on purpose because we knew we were going to be sweating hard by the time we got there. We would’ve had to start hours earlier if we did a non-sweat pace.

I landed 5 really nice ones! All of various sizes, all with nice colors! We also got some really nice drone footage throughout the day, including some nice sunrise shots of the area!! I also just got my new electric augur in two days prior to heading up there…thank goodness because 2-3 feet of hand auguring all day would’ve been a nightmare!

If you’re not familiar with Colorado Cutthroat Trout, they’re gorgeous! Especially during spawning season. I attached some photos of them if videos aren’t for you!

I had a blast editing this, so I hope you all enjoy it ;D We got some amazing drone footage throughout the day, including some really nice shots of areas of the Mesa during Sunrise!

Nice video and beautiful fish/scenery

Another nice video – Those sure are some beautiful fish. Way to go on putting in the hard work to get there and catch a few.

Thanks guys! Always happy to share my fishing adventures with you all. The crazy thing was is how finicky those fish are…Had to have marked over 40-50 the whole day. In combination of us 3, had to have thrown at least 20 different presentations. Lots of old giants in that body of water…it’s as if they pass down the knowledge.

Awesome drone footage. You’ve got an awesome place to enjoy there. Quiet and relaxing. Nice job

Thanks for sharing ! Beautiful fish and country !

It’s gorgeous up there. If you guys ever make it out to Colorado, I would highly recommend the Grand Mesa! Lots of spots like this…probably want to get a snowmobile though so you’re not doing what I did lol. Thanks for watching, glad you guys enjoyed!
